Hey particlefans. I’m back. Didja miss me? I hope you enjoyed the ravings of MPB. He’s quite the kidder, he is.
After partying till the wee hours of the morning last night (4 am by my recollection), I was on my bike six hours later cranking out the miles in the beautiful December air. It was a brisk 70 degrees, and windy as hell. I might as well have been riding up hill most of the time. I started getting this weird pain on either side of my lower back and I think it was my kidneys screaming at me. My liver probably put a few words in there too.
Where was I riding? No, not in Houston. I’m in Dallas. I got a phone call from my boss last Saturday and she said, "Hey, wanna come up to Dallas for three weeks?" I said Yes, of course, and relayed the news to one of my Dallas friends who I had previously told I would only be in town for a few days. He was planning on going to Europe for three weeks so he said, "Wanna house-sit?"
So here I am. Apartment-sitting in Dallas. Oh, and this friend? He has a 2000 BMW 540i with a V8. Watch out, Dallas. I like fast cars and I’m not very good at driving manual transmission.

I guess a townhouse to yourself is better than a spare bedroom at our house... but I would have fed you like the good Jewish mother-in-training that I am!

at least you're honest about your manual driving abilities... :)

Welcome back, dude. Hope your finals went well! And don't drive too fast in your newfound speed machine. Bad things happen to people using other people's cars. It's inevitable.
